Electricity? Gas?

Possibilities include gas leaks (we had one, and they waived all charges for a month - since they could have blown us up!), someone stealing your juice, a broken meter, or really bad wiring in your house that is sucking up juice somewhere (quite dangerous sometimes).

Sorry, read further - looks like electricity. We pay about $300 or so, but have gas for the heat, stove and dryer. If you heat with electricity (not common in this part of the world), you could pay $1000 easily, otherwise, you have a problem if you're that high.

Do you unplug your cell phone chargers?
